Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [13th - 17th September 2014]

sunderland aren't making it easy for us, they're crowding us out. if lamela and eriksen can create some space and forge some craft, they're there for the taking. we've had chances on goal but have been poor at finishing.

lamela has a touch very similar to messi but he's only shown it around the half way line. if we can get the ball into him in the box, he'll be very difficult to handle.
 
Kagawa gets a goal in his first game back with Dortmund :p

Like the player a lot, still think Utd were mental to not use him more.

EDIT:- The barca vs bilbao game is also on and has that crazy geordie commentator on the american channel. Bilbao looking back to their best of a few years ago, people giving them a chance of having a real fight with last years top three this season. 0-0 at half time. Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid this evening could be a good game as well. Always worth reminding people in here as not many people go in the foreign league thread.

As I type Eriksen bundles that over the line.

Costa is a machine, Fabregas with another assist..... if it wasn't so completely predictable. Thank god we decided to spend a lot more on Ozil than getting Fabregas... we didn't need him because Ozil is brilliant :(
 
Damn, my grandparents called and I missed the goal.

3-0 now. Pardew is being nudged closer to the exit.

Really any half decent striker could do the same with the quality of assists coming from Chelsea's midfield.
Click to expand...

Some of his goals, sure, but his movement has been great. He's occupying defenders, he scored the headed goal without jumping just holding the players away from him and making himself some space... though helped by the guy infront of him bear hugging I think it was Cahill.

His timing is brilliant, he can score from anywhere and he doesn't stop moving. I don't think most of his goals couldn't have been scored by others, but there will be goals to come this year that lesser strikers won't score.

It's not the 15 goals he'll get that say Giroud could also score, it will be the other 10 he'll get that Giroud wouldn't score that will make the difference. The best strikers will score the simple ones as well as the others. As yet he's scored 4 goals from 9 shots, 6 of which are on target. HIs stats will likely get worse over the season with more games but even the best strikers exceptionally rarely break a goals/shots ratio of 1:3.

Many brilliant strikers have missed the types of chances he's scored.


Brentford 3-1 up now against Brighton, certainly don't seem out matched after promotion, as it stands they'd be up to 5th on goal difference now. Depends on other results as well, others around them can pick up more points but it's still a strong start.


EDIT;- and Brighton make it 3-2
 
lol, well 10 shots, 7 on target, 5 goals. 70% on target and 50% conversion rate is phenomenal.

HIs biggest problem is he's a grade A ****. He may have realised that money means more to him than being a **** though. We'll see if he holds up his good behaviour. Gobbing in your hand to then flick it up in Ramos's face is... well, despicable.

It wouldn't surprise me if he ended up with a handful of red cards or a long ban a la Suarez for some kind of stupid thing he does, but he might have out grown it, time will tell.
